KNIGHTS 1N GREAT DANGER. | Opinions Gathered by a Olose Observer of the Richmond Convention, DISCORD SOWN IN THE RANKS TheQuestions of Politics and Religion Caunsing Contention and Strife— Aristocracy in the Order ~Convention Wars, The Knights of Labor. RicnyoNn, Va., Oct. 16.—|Special Tele- gram to the Hrx Unless a great many destroying features are eliminated from the organization of the Knights of Labor it will not live five years, [t will die of cancer. This i plain, so plain that everybody can see it who is iere where a view from the origi- nal can be had. Polities is gnawing at the very vitals of the organization, while per- sonal ambition In the direction of leadership and general seltishness, including the merce- nary one of holding the offices, are creeping in. Then the religions problem Is coming up for its share of contention, and it it will grow as rapidly during the next two years a8 within the last two months, will alone be sufficient to crush the fnstitution. The first argnment used against the re-election of General Master Workman Powderly was that he isa Romaa Catholic. This was circulated vigorously till the con- vention met here and noses were counted. 1t then transpired that almost two-thirds of the knights are members of the Catholic charch. Within my own hearing a delegate catechised Mr, Powderly on this subject till the general master workman had to explain and then apologize for a social visit to the bishop of the church in this city. To the knights the fact that the highest ofcers encourage the interminegling of poh- ties with the primary objects of the organi- zation is a very serious fact. It means that the leaders are at work to distract the organ- ization, not by design, but in fact. A New England member of the executive board, dis- eussing this feature ot the order now, ob- served to your correspondent: “Politics wreckea the patrons of hus- bandry, the prohibition and other temperance moves; it has ruined churches and schools, and ft will ruin us. We organized for the sole puzpose of presenting a solid front of labor against capital when capital was wrongly employed. There was to be notling but charity and co-operation, to sceure and maintain the highest prices for labor. Chureh, politics, religion, and all ecollateral issues ‘were to be excluded. Politics means selish- 1 seltishness means the downfall of any- body or corporation depending upon co-oper- ation or contact with the nm.rlo for support. It other issues had entered into the de- termination of the north slavery would not have been abolished, because the north would not have stood together. Ireaay there are bickerings in every a Whit grows out of polities will come from any of the other subjects which, like the worm™ in the vine, ‘@ sticking their horny heads up. W hat we S and in the fullest sense, is har- nmony, pe ,ct_mm{l' Then there is still another thing the knights must guard aj t. 1t is autocracy,. aris- tocracy, in their own ranks, During the past two weeks I have heard more than a hundred expressions tending to prove this. They come lnosfli oin local knights,men who hai not the corded right, but the vested right and liberty, to associate with and speak to the general ofticers. For many years 1 e Ob- served that there is an aristocracy growing up among cl sses that does not affect those outside of thew. For instance, a lawyer. a , printer, a carpenter, may feign to afiiliate « Wwith one of hisown cl; on the assumption .. that classes should not form society of its own, and because it has a “dis- o tasto for his own fellows and business. 5 “There is a tondency in some of these streams to run higher than” their seurce. A creature must not et beyond its creator, nor above it. During the parade here on Monday the gen- eral ofiicers were conveyed in carringes to the fair grounds. They occupied the center . of the procession, and drew n very marked gontrast when coipred with the poor lows who plodded along the miles in the sun ., and dust. ‘There were bitter complaints. “How does it come,” L beard a dozen Knights say, “that these fine feilows, whom we pay and Whom we have created in po tion, will suffer themselves to be elevated so far out of their proper places? There Is a teudency in the body of the membership to complain at all real and imaginary shghts and hard- ships. ‘They ~probably had cause 1o observo the exclusiveness practiced by the general master workman and to speak of it. Very soon after he came here he not only refused to receive callers, but cards and versons who had business with him, Mr, TPowderly, the people in the order say, is not only a workingman, but the servant of the single Hebrew delegate to_the conven- tion has attracted comment, but not much at- tention personally.

Mr, Powderly has had a_splendid opportunity to make & warm and sincere personal friend of every newspaper representative here, without - jury to his orzanization and without incon venience, To one who has studied the character of these delegates and their work here for fortnight it is clear that 1f the organization will eliminate all collateral issues, such as politics and religion, from their operatior they can have #n influence in tiine which will eontrol almost every crest of the world There is «farcely anything that can. not be affected by labor, But if these things are not eliminated it is equally plain that the Knights of Labor cannot sutvive the buffetings of many more seasons. 1t I3 an awful battle labor “has to make.

R1cizMoND, Va, Oct, 16,.—~Wlen the gen. eral assembly of the Knights of Labor re- sumed Its session tnis morning, the discus- sion of the report on Dowey’s plan for the establishment of a labor journal as the organ of the order was resumed. The discussion on the newspaper project was brought to a close by the adoption of a motion to lay the matter on the table. The committee on law again got the floor, and that part of its report on the revision of the constitution relating to the duties of general officers was adopted. The discussion of jthe clause relating to stat assemblies was in progress when the hour for the noon recess arrived, and was resumed at the afternoon session, Mr. Powderly was not feeling well to-day and was absent from the convention, remain- ing in his room the greater part of the day. In his absance General Secretary Litchman presided. ~ Atthe afternoon session consid- eration of the report of the revision of the constitution as it cawe from the hands of the committee ou law was continued, Scetion 1, ating to 1 is and member: shiv, was passed without action, Section 2, treating of the meetings of the weners sembly and representation, was amended 50 as to change the basis of representation from one delegate for 1,000 members to one for every 8,000, and to make an allowance for ' mileage payable by the general assembly.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct, 16, —Immense mass meetings were held by the republicans in the Academy of Music and Horticultural hall to- night in ratification of the republican state ticket. Hon. James G. Blaine was the prin- cipal speaker at both halls, which were packed to their utmost capacity hours before the speaker arrived. The crowd grew larger and larger as the evening advanced, and by 8 o'clock the streets within three blocks of the two building: which adjoin each other, were almost u passable, ‘The speaker was escorted from and to his hotel by republican clubs, and the kreatest enthusiasm Iym\'nllwl along the line of the procession. In addition to the two speeches in the halls” Blaine addressed an immense throng from the balcony of the Union league bullding. S The Times Supports Roosevelt. New Youk, Oct. 16,—|Special Telegram to the Bek.]—The Times scems satisfied with the action of the republican county conv tion last night in nominating Theodore Roosevelt for mayor. The following extract from the Times’ editorial on the subject in- dicates the return of that paper to the repub- lican fold: “It is because we believe Mr. Roosevelt to be very much less a partisan and very much more of a reformer than Mr itt that we should prefer to see hi ed mayor, It need searcely be said that we do not regard Mr. Roosevelt’s election as probable. The united democratic vote in thi city out numbers by some 50,000 the full re- nublican vote, but it is in every way irable that the republican party, with a candidate of ideal excellence, should put forth its full strength thi and if some further incen- tive is demanded it may be added that the candidacy of Henry George brings into the contest an element of doubt which makes Mr, Roosevelt’s chances of election seem far from hopeless. rze vote for Henry George would make Theodore Roosevelt the next mayor of New York.” The Quebeo Elections, MoxTREAL, Oct, 16,.—It is now conceded that the Quebee elections have resulted in the defeat of the government. At present a number of members eleeted are elaimed by both parties. The conservatives maintain that the vote is a tie, while the liberals elaim that they have a working majority, ‘The relative strength of the Lwo partiés can- ot be positively announced until the house meets. It is predicted by some that a cosli- tion will be necessary in order to carry on the government. e —— Helping Out His Wife's Family, WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Tho president to-day appointed Benjamin Folsom, of New York, to be consul of the United States at Sheflield, England.

The street was quickly thronged, but all that could be done was to remove goods from the fated building and protect adjacent ones.
